Autoshrink setting for UIButton in Storyboard

Question

There is a setting for UILabel in storyboard that allows setting auto-shrink configurations, as shown below:

But I am unable to find the same for UIButton's textlabel. I am aware that I can set this programmatically but curious to know if there's a way to enable this setting for UIButton in Storyboard.

Answer 1

You can use User Defined Runtime Attributes to set this flag using the storyboard.

Set the following key path:

titleLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth to true

Answer 2

No, there is no option available in storyboard for set Button's textlabel auto-shrink ,

But you can set it programatically with adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth as you are aware with it.

yourbutton.titleLabel?.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true;

you can set it via IBDesignable and IBInspectable – Cirilo

@Cirilo he just want to know that is it possible from storyboard. He want direct option like Autoshrink in UILabel. – Brendis

yes but we can show him another approach via just couple line of code instead of telling him NO in bold – Cirilo

@Cirilo he already mention that he knows another approach with programatically. – Brendis

@Cirilo this not only via storyboard , you also need to do set some properties programatically. – Brendis

@Cirilo same here buddy. i also don't want to do. but can you say which option is better ? 2 line of code or full process with IBDesignable ? – Brendis

via IBDesignable you can see the result directly without even running a code so it is better – Cirilo

@Anbu.Karthik let's clear I downvoted your answer because you suggested deprecated method – Cirilo

Answer 3

try this

btn.titleLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
btn.titleLabel.minimumScaleFactor = 0.5; // set whatever factor you want to set 

If you want to set in storyboard try IBDesignable and IBInspectable

Cirilo

so are you the downvoter for my answer, ok welcome bro, the question asked with out single code need to change , is this possible in UIButton – Marou

no hard feeling bro, it was deprecated so I did downvote – Cirilo

IBDesignable or IBInspectable we are assign the custom proerty , in here we add our own property whatever we need corret – Marou

with all due respect if we can set this property in the setter of our custom property – Cirilo
